BABY HUMORS And all Skin and Scalp Dis. eases Speedily Cured
 by Cuticura.

Our little will be four years Of age the 18th inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked with a very painful breaking out of the skin. We called in 8 physician who treated him for about four weeks. The child received little or no good from the treat nlent as the breaking out, supposed by the physi- cian to be hives in an aggravated form, became larger in blotches, and more and more distressing. We were frequently obliged to get up in the night and rub him with soda In water strong linmeRts, etc. Finally, we called other physicians until no less than six had tempted 10 cure him, all alike failing, and the child steadily getting worse and worse, until about the 20th of last July, when we began to give him CuTICURA REsoLvENT inter naly, and the CUrICURA and CUTIcURA SOAP ex- formally. and by the last of August he was so nearly well that we gave him only one dose of the REsoLvEST about every second day for about ten days longer, and he has never been troubled since with the horrible malady. In all we used less than one half of bottle of CUTIcURA RE- SOLVENT, little less than one box of CUrIcURA, and only one cake of CuTICURA SOAP.

the mild, insinuating cherry bounce, that tastes 80 much like fruit liquid, and seems to have no strength, will remember how they have been fooled, when they found that they were drunk, unknown to themselves, and remained drunk for week. It was thus with the detectives and reporters After the Blake, with its precious freight, had got by them, and well into Canadian waters, the guests of the captain of the Blake's consort, the Marsh, found that they were too drunk to stay ill the cabin, and too drunk to get on deck without help. They were assisted into the open air, and then the captain told them that it would be necessary for him to sail at once, as he had got his ties loaded, and while he hated to part with them, he must ask them to go aboard their respective craft. They were bundled on to the tugs, and sicker lot of "Hawkshaws" was never seen. When they began to get sober, and found that their prisoner had passed down, within stones throw of them, while they were drunk, they wanted some- body to kick them They chased skiffs containing fishermen, however, and some of them went ashore and chased farmers around farms, and they acted strange. Every day they are getting more sober from the effects of the captains cherry bounce, and by the middle of August they will begin to think about returning to Chicago, where they will be laughed out of the community. "Drunk on his post, will be perfectly proper monument to erect over the grave of every detec- tive of the lot, and if there is any thing in luck, McGarigle will never be punished.

|" Most Likely"
Exchange

People who always agree with you or who at least never dispute or an- swer any question in the negative, are quite as exasperating as those who are perpetually contradicting every asser- ton they hear. Mir. Futile reports verbatim an interview which he once held, through an interpreter, with an Esquimau of Hudson strait, in which his questions met with non- committal answers that were both amusing and provoking. He began by asking, "Are there many natives in this section of the country?"
 "He says most likely there is" was the reply of the interpreter.
 "But doesn't he know?"
 "Yes; he says most likely there is a good many"
 "How many?"
 "Most likely a good many"
 "A hundred, or thousand?"
 "He doesn't count"
 "Is there an Esquimau village in these parts, town where they come together in winter?"
 "He says most likely there is" -''Doesn't he know?"
 "Most likely he does."
 "But ask him."
 "He says most likely there is."
 "Where is it?"
 "He doesn't know"
 "Then doesn't he know whether there is village near this place or not?"
 "Most likely he doesn't"
 "Have the Esquimaux any idea of religion?"
 "Most likely they have"
 "But ask him."
 "He says he doesn't understand what religion is."
 Does he expect to go to any place when he dies"
 "Most likely he does"
 "Ask him where"
 "IIe says most likely he don't know where"
 "Have they any burial service when one of their number dies?"
 "He says most likely they hasn't J At what age does the Esquimau marry?"
 "Most likely the girl will be ten or twelve, and the man seventeen or eighteen"
 Do they ever quarrel and sep arate?"
 "He says most likely they does."
 "Do the men ever marry more than one woman, or two or three wives at one timer"
 "He says most likely they does."
 "Do they not know that it is wrong to have more than one wife?"
 "He says most likely he won't go on."
 "What does he mean?"
 "Most likely he is sulky, and won't answer"
 "Have the natives ever seen a vessel before?"
 "He says only one of them has, and he says most likely he won't tell you anything else"

Tales of an Absent Minded Parson.
 Concord Monitor.

SOhOOAu &ASuAbOIs
 One of the most absent minded of men lived and died not long ago. He was a most worthy minister of the gospel, and conducted the greater part of one long midsummer service with one pair of heavy spectacles on his nose and another canted high up on his massive forehead.
 He once called on a lady parish- toner, and invited her, with charac- teristic politeness, to go to ride. She accepted gladly, and 'fixed up," only to- find with the dominic when they reached the door that he had made the call on horseback, and that his chaise was at his home half a dozen miles away.
 This same fondness for horseback riding led him to make another ridic- ulous blunder, when he led his old brindle COW from the barn one day with the saddle strapped tightly on her back, the old horse neighing over the seeming unjust discrimination.
 The horse was often led to a brook to drink. One morning the loafers on the piazza of the village store were dumbfounded to see the parson come out of the barn with the halter drag ging from his hands folded behind his back, pass slowly down to the brook, then turn and look at the horsclcss halter and hasten back to the barn where thirsty old Dobbin in his box stall was pitying his kind, forgetful old master.

READING NEWS.

READING, Aug. 2.-David Nickel was
obliged to ship part of his steers to
market Monday, as heis short of water
in his pasture. John Dickson also
shipped one car load.
The showers of last week were light,
not over an inch of rain fall.
The hay crop is very light. Some
farmers are cutting up their corn tfod-
der) ready for winter and they are go
ing to Kansas City to get work.
In 1916 the frost cut down all the
corn crop in New England and only
few spots here and there did corn get
ripe. The hay crop also was light.
Many farmers cut and gathered Sumac
leaves for hay. Corn was 81 per BUSH
Ell in Boston. 1t was brought in from
Baltimore in ships. and those hardy
New England men had to work, toll
possible to get through the
winter of 1sl6-17. They lived
through it. The writer has often heard
the men who lived in those days refer
to it as a struggle, and a severe etoo.
1t tested their ability to manage, their
powers to economic and made them
giants for future work and usefulness.
This part of Lyon and Usage coun-
ties, it is safe to say, will not average
ten bushels of corn to the acre. Some
farms that two weeks ago bid fair for
half crop are now figured at not over
ten bushels. This does not sound well,
but it is very near the truth. The bot
tom lands, that heretofore have yielded
good crop in dry year, this year are
failure. Our corn is mostly on the
slope or upland farms. Some sections
are better than others, from the fact
of local showers that have been mar
row in extent.

boost by introducing telephone COM

bank there that was not only to do a
regular banking business, but was to
take charge of all the government
finances and control impending railroad

that he was convinced that American
capital would ultimately "open up'

it, because premature publication often
